FAQ
1 - How did you get into weddings?
My father was also a wedding photographer for some time, and he always was a great source of inspiration for me. Although he passed away in 2001, I would like to think that his legacy lives on through my work. I have no doubt that my success as an award-winning wedding photographer would have made him proud. Also the fact that a wedding photographer work in the middle of happiness caught my attention and I’m extremely happy and honored with this profession ;)
2 - What’s your style?
As you can see through my images, my style is very candid and is often described as a creative documentary. Many of the couples whose weddings I have photographed have commented that they were so pleased with the results and they were often unaware of my photographing them.
